Wheezy is simply too stale for Steam. Being a owner of nVidia hardware doesn't help as Wheezy will be pretty much stuck forever on the 304.xx drivers (and you can't pull the 319.xx from Experimental since the packagers were really BRILLANT and stuck a dependency on newer libc than the one on Wheezy).

So if you're going to build a Steambian(TM) rig, avoid Wheezy at all costs, and go Jessie/Sid + Experimental.

hello, thanks for your recommendation, I upgrade to jessie, but I had a problem with nvidia drivers and new kernel, maybe it was because I am a little novice in this world of GNU.linuxI, thought about relocating to wheezy again but will try again in jessie.

if you have any advice to install the drivers? I have an old 9400 GT...

I've started my upgrade to Jessie, a crapload of packages to download :)Remember that the upgrade is ONE WAY ONLY, there is no downgrade from Testing to Stable!!! (if you want to go back to Wheezy... you will have to backup and format!)

If you want sound on your 64-bit box, you would install libasound2-plugins:i386... except that this depends on libjack-jackd2-0:i386... which depends on libopus0:i386, which sadly is anything but multiarch-compliant. If you're smart enough to be using anything but stable, there is a patch enabling multiarch and you will want to build your own .debs (I have no idea about how to do so for multiarch targets). Otherwise... the wait to get that patch accepted will be loooong and boring, so I suggest to place libjack and friends on hold (i.e. avoid dist-upgrade at all costs!)

Why the hell jackd2 (which is an audio workstation thing that someone rarely uses nowadays) is linking aganist Opus (a free audio codec that noone uses yet because it isn't even finished?) is something that rustles my jimmies. A somewhat-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dependency IMO, but I don't do Jack :P
